Research Abstract |
The results of this study being conducted from fiscal 1994 to 1996 are the following points. 1) Regional characteristics and factors of the death rate of the middle aged men in Tokyo metropolitan area. There were regional differences in the death rate of the male aged 35 to 59 years in the cities/wards located in Tokyo and neighboring 4 prefectures. Those differences of the death rate were correlated with the inhabitants socioeconomic characteristics. There distribution pattern of the death rate of the middle aged men by city/ward were observed from the late 1970s till the early 1990s. 2) Occupational differences in health-related life-styles among middle-aged male workers in secondary and tertiary sectors in Japan. Occupational differences and features in health-related life-style and subjective health were seen among 20,234 male workers aged between 30 and 59. These features seemed to be formed and influenced by occupational circumstances such as hours of work, work environment, working style, and job strain. 3) Socioeconomic differences in health status, attitudes to medical care, utillization of health services among Japanese middle and higher aged men. Health status was influenced by income level, that is to say, peple who were low income worse than others. Differences in attitudes to medical care were seen by the level of education and occupational category. Utilization of health services were seen little differences by socioeconomic status. 4) Social inequalities in health and its causal explanation in western industrialized countries. Many studies on social inequalities in health being conducted during a recent decade in western industrialized counntries showed the evidence of socioeconomic differences of every aged group in both sexes in diverse health indicators, several causal exphlanations, and its implications for social policy.
